My Story.....

My Husband and I met on April 17, 2005. It was instant love and attraction. We were unseperable. We were married on April 15, 2006. Our wedding was small and kind of country. We had a tough time following our marriage. I guess it was just the universe testing us to make us closer and our love stronger.

I quit taking birthcontrol in February of 2007(the side effects were driving me him and my body nuts). We started a business in April and then come May I missed my period and found out that I am pregnant.

It is silly but I was so afraid to tell him, I was nearly in tears. He handled it way better than I ever dreamed that he could. We were not trying to get pregnant. I actually had wanted to wait until the end of the summer to try, but I guess it just happened sooner than expected. We are so excited. I am due on January 29, 2008.

I had an U/S done on June 12 and according to the measurements I was about 6wks 6days. The baby measured 8mm. I got to see the heart beat and hear it! It was 139bpm. My hubby was unable to make this appt but I did get pics. The U/S made it seem real to me---no more need to take home pregnancy tests inorder to convince myself.

I went back to the Doc on July 10 and the Doc attempted to hear the heartbeat with the doppler but was unsucessful so he decided to do an U/S and what we saw was so amazing. My hubby was with me and I will never forget the look on his face when he saw our little baby's hands waving at us. It was as if she(i have a feeling) was saying hi to us. I got so tickled seeing it, all I could do was giggle like a school girl. I think it kind of mad my Doc a little frustrated---you are suposed to hold still fot those things. We got a pic but it wasn't nearly as good cause I couldn't keep from laughing. It sort of validated it for my hubby because he now has seen the baby growing inside my belly. I go back to the Doc on Aug 10.

I have been one of the lucky few---no morning sickness. Not trying to brag. I have been extremely tired and occaisional queeziness. My poor hubby----I have been crabby. Of course tender breasts. I do have a feeling that it will be a girl----we don't care either way just as long as our kiddo comes out healthy.

July 20th: I have been very tired lately and kind of sick---no throwing up though. I didn't sleep well for the first 12 weeks and now I am sleeping awesomely! I can't seem to wake up before noon and when I do my body says no--you need more sleep--so I sleep more LOL. I am sooo happy to finally be sleeping better. I have woken up with a sore throat and stuffy sinuses the past couple of days---but it usually goes away about 10-15 minutes after I get up. I go back to the Dr. on Aug 10th I hope that I get lucky and get another u/s. I loved seeing our little baby wave at us. I also have felt what is most likely gas but I don't know--I have felt it for the last two nights at the same time--8pm. I will wait to see if I feel it again tonight to make any judgements on it. Mostly likely gas though. Can hardly wait to feel our little one kick!

July 31st: I know I have felt my little one in there. I seem to feel it about the same time every night. Kind of feels like bubbles or flutters. I know it isn't gas, cause I know my body very well. I have gottem to know it so well because when I broke my back and had to learn to walk again a few years ago. I think I mentioned that in the body previously. I have been a sobbing mess lately. I can't even watch television lately without it making me cry. It is a bit annoying to cry over a commercial. Thank god my hubby isn't home to witness the mess I have become lately. He will be home late tonight---Yay! My libido has increased a bit from what it was a couple of weeks ago. He needs to be home for the good part of this pregnancy---he will benifit LOL (sorry tmi).

8-8-07: I haven't been on in what seems like forever! My pc took a nose-dive and I finally got it fixed---YAY! Nothing really exciting going on other than got my energy back! Woohoo! I have been crying over everything---especially reality show---the ones where people's dreams come true. I then cry cause I am crying---silly I know. I always feel so awesome after a good cry LOL. But anyways---I go back to the doc on friday and I hope I can get lucky and get an u/s and find out what it is. I am so tired of referring to the baby as it. Have still been feeling the flutters but not as much lately. I'm not worried though---I know our little one is still in there just growing and waiting to be born. :)

8-14-07: I went to the doc last friday and it went well. We got to hear the baby's heart beat and that was exciting. I talked to my doc about the cramps and he said it was normal for them to be that intense and that they will only get worse---what did I get myself into! LOL I know it will all be worth it. I set an appt for the u/s--the big one--to find out the sex. I am so excited and I can hardly wait. I guess I will have to wait, but I have a feeling that the next month will go by so slow, just cause I am waiting for that appt. I am going to get a CD with the image so I will post them then. I also get to tape it but it has to bo on VHS--so I won't be able to post it. Seriously who uses VHS anymore?

November 13-- I had my doc appt yesterday. The heartbeat was good 142bpm. I passed my glucose and iron test and I have only gained 18lbs to date(3lbs over the last month). I measured 30 weeks. I was told it is normal to measure a little larger than what due date is---but I think he will come about a week earlier than our due date. I go back on Dec 14 and then it is every two weeks after that. We sure can't wait until he finally makes his grand entrance.

The Aquarius baby does not like restrictions and can be quite the little rebel. These freedom-loving babies need plenty of space to play and grow. They are inventive and resourceful children who tend to become humanitarian adults.
